Doctor Who Collection Completion!

So after months of preparation and weeks and weeks of work, I finally finished the set of Doctor Who dolls and Tardis I was commissioned to make! I really truly enjoyed making these guys and I swear, I almost teared up when I packed them all up and shipped them to Washington state. There is a lucky husband out there with a wife who loves him (and Doctor Who) a lot!

I posted before about the previous doctors I've finished, but I'll go ahead and show them all in order and then show off the massive Tardis they can fit inside!

First Doctor, 1963-66, William Hartnell

Second Doctor, 1966-69, Patrick Troughton

Third Doctor, 1970-74, Jon Pertwee

Fourth Doctor, 1974-81, Tom Baker

Fifth Doctor, 1981-84, Peter Davison

Sixth Doctor, 1984-86, Colin Baker

Seventh Doctor, 1987-89, Sylvester McCoy

Eighth Doctor, 1996, Paul McGann

Ninth Doctor, 2005, Christopher Eccleston

Tenth Doctor, 2005-2010, David Tennant

Eleventh Doctor, 2010-present, Matt Smith

What do you think? I LOVED MAKING THEM! Yes! I did! It was a ton of work, but gee, they were fun. So guess what? The patterns will be released in January and right now you can preorder all 12 patterns as a set in my Etsy shop! CLICK HERE!

Wow. It is so cool to see all of these in one place together. And I spent a long time looking at all the subtle variations in head shape and facial expressions among the different Doctors. It's really amazing how well you captured the spirit of each man in just a few deft eyebrow/smile lines. You're so talented, Allison. I just love seeing all the wonderful things you come up with!

Oh, they're beautiful!!!!! I would never ever be able to depart from them, if it were me... I have a question though... Actually, two! First: what yarn did you use for David Tennant/Tenth doctor's hair? Because it is perfect! And will there be loose patterns for the doctors, or maybe a 9-10-11 pack, since they are the new series? A lot of us don't know the old series, so I think that will get you a lot of customers, since it's quite pricey to buy the whole pack...

These are so amazing! Just like everyone else has said, they look so realistic. They are by far the best I've seen. Unfortunately, I don't know how to crochet. Is it likely that you might sell the dolls themselves at any point? I would like the 10th doctor (and maybe a TARDIS). These are better than any that I've seen on Etsy - I think if you offered to sell the dolls themselves you would do a good business, for non-crafty types like me.

Is there any way in the future you would be selling the individual patterns? A bit costly for me to buy all at once. I want to make the Tardis and Tennant and Smith for starters. I will just reiterate what everone else has said. You rock!!!

These are beautiful! I wish I knew how to crochet so I could make these myself! I was smiling as I scrolled down the page looking at each of the Doctors individually. I love that you've got all of their personalities in the dolls. These are truly amazing! Lovely work! FANTASTIC!

Love your work! I'm only a beginner to amigurumi but I am so glad to have found your site early on as it has taught me that amigurumi when done right can be a realistic representation of what it is - not just a rough approximation. Well done!

I am so impressed with your incredible talent. I must have the patterns for the recent doctors to make for my granddaughter, a rabid fan. Will you also be doing the twelfth doctor now he has been identified? Yours are such wonderfully realistic creations, I hope I can do a half-way decent job of making them. Thanks so much.

So if I were to try and get these all premade (like every single doctor plus TARDIS) how much would that cost me and is it possible since i have like 0 skill and 100% need of this set in my life. Like I am fangirling like its the 50th up in here! I'm gonna cry! I WANNA SNUGGLE UP WITH ALL OB DEM LIKE RIGHT NOW!

I can't even imagine how you made the patterns for these! I am up to making a third doll and the Tardis and the amount of work involved is an absolute credit to you! Having so much fun seeing them evolve. Currently doing David Tennant and having a hard time finding the right yarn for his hair....I'll find it. :-)

These Doctor Who dolls are absolutely stunning! This is probably a silly question, but are there wires inside the arms and legs to make them posable? It looks like they can be positioned in the photos.
